Yanarta? Eternal Flame Tour

At 4.30 pm, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Kemer and head towards the scenic town of Cirali, passing through villages like Kuzdere, Camyuva, and Tekirova.

In Cirali, there will be a stop at its 3-kilometer (1.8 mile) beach for swimming and a stroll along the shore.

As sunset approaches, we will ascend Mount Chimera, also known as the Mount of the Eternal Fire, along a stone path. The Yanartas fires will be burning continuously, providing a remarkable sight at night.

The legend tells of Lycian king Iobates asking Bellerophon to slay Chimera, a fire-breathing monster. With aid from Athena and Pegasus, Bellerophon trapped Chimera in the mountain, and its fire continues to burn eternally.

The fires are caused by methane accumulating in the mountain, escaping through fissures to create flames that never extinguish. The fires also historically served as a lighthouse for sailors.

Afterward, we will visit Ulupinar for a dinner among trees and springs, including a main course, salad, and seasonal fruit for dessert.

Finally, we will return to Kemer, dropping you off at your hotel around 11.30 pm, concluding the tour.
